Oh dear! I almost forgot to blog this gem of a wedding from late October! I’m so glad I realized my mistake so that you call could take a peek into Trina and Toby’s delightful Denton wedding day that started off at the Little Chapel in the Woods.
Here you catch a glimpse at Trina and Toby’s first look to kick off our portraits before their ceremony.
I was tearing up right along with Trina as she opened her wedding day present from Toby — a journal he wrote in for her during the last 40 days leading up to the wedding. On the back inside cover he wrote, “Not the end . . . but the beginning.” Good job, Toby.
Toby wore Beatles cuff links for his mom, and carried Trina’s grandfather’s pocket watch.
I so enjoyed getting to steal Toby and Trina away for a few minutes of sunset portraits before we all headed to the reception. I love, love getting to photograph my brides and grooms right smack-dab in the middle of sweet newly married moments.
We snuck out of the reception for a few portraits of Trina and Toby working it with their get-a-way car before the big send-off.
 I’m so happy for you, Trina and Toby! Thank you for trusting James and myself with documenting your wedding day.
Morgan describes herself as more of a city girl.
Chance describes himself as a full-fledged country boy.
Morgan wanted Chance to feel represented by their engagement session location — so we met up in the small town of Gustine, Texas the day after Thanksgiving for some photos in the country.
This next spot is pretty cool — my uncle tipped me off to this house for real built in 1900 out on some property owned by some family of ours. I went out before the shoot to scout and showed Morgan and  Chance the place and they were all for shooting here. Huzzah!
Oh yes, and there was that time that I asked them if they wanted to climb up into this hayloft and they totally did. That was pretty cool.
To end the shoot, Morgan and Chance brought out some holli powder . . . ya know . . . just to see what would happen . . .
 And this was what happened. A holli powder fight between a country boy and his city girl.
I’m so pumped for y’all’s June wedding!
I really enjoy photographing the Massey family. With a little one as active as Eben in the mix and parents as cool as Rebecca and Colin, it always makes for lively, silly and playful shots.
These are my favorite kind of family photographs.
Enjoy a peek into their session from November.
How fun is it that they brought along Colin’s bike for Eben to “fix” with his tools?! I’ll tell you: it’s really fun.
We ended the session wrapped up in some Christmas lights that Eben found quite tasty.
Until next time, Massey family! X’s and O’s!
Happy last day of 2012, everyone! James and I are having such a great Christmas-New Years break. So far we’ve done Christmas with both sets of families, celebrated the marriage of a couple of dear friends, and now we’re in Arkansas visiting MORE dear friends.
In honor of the last day of 2012 I thought it might be fun to do a JZP behind the scenes blogpost. Through the year we ended up with a nice little collection of photos I took of James working and photos James took of me working — and in most of them we look pretty ridiculous, and that’s okay.
James caught me documenting how dedicated he was to a detail shot at a wedding in February.
This is my fun reception face.
Apparently in order to be deemed a proper reception face, my mouth must be open? At this wedding reception my little brother was a guest — isn’t he so cute?!
James thought he could do his Footloose moves without any wedding guests seeing him . . .
 
Sometimes photographers like to photobomb too.
I like to think that photos like these prove my clients really do think I’m funny. Let me think that.
James got pulled onto the dance floor (against his will) Â by a guest at this reception. Of course I thought it was hilarious.
James gets all bossy during the bouquet toss.
Look! It’s TIFFANY! She was one of my brides from 2011 and I was SO PLEASED to get to see her at a wedding I was shooting this September.
James thought the groom would really want a photo with him before the first dance.
Talking with my hands is a constant necessity.
Dinosaur hand?
Apparently I go all flight-attendant before the first look.
And that right there was a peek into JZP’s 2012 behind the scenes. We are so incredibly thankful for all of our WONDERFUL clients that we had the joy of working with this year and are very much looking forward to everyone we get to work with in 2013. And thanks for not pointing out to us how ridiculous we tend to look while working with y’all.
Have a happy, happy new year’s eve!
